Mark Zuckerberg inadvertently ‘likes’ Mitt Romney on Facebook

What do Mitt Romney, Republican presidential candidate, and Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, have in common?

Zuckerberg recently “liked” a link to Romney’s website on Facebook when it was posted by Slate write Farhad Manjoo with the text “just try looking at the Romney logo without seeing the word MONEY” next to it.

These words were automatically stripped out when posted to more than 11 million people who subscribe to Zuckerberg’s Facebook feed, thereby exposing an interface glitch that personally affected the social network’s creator.

Many Facebook users responded, and much of the feedback assumed that Zuckerberg was endorsing Romney:

“Shouldn’t you be apolitical, Mark?”

“Zuckerberg must have been hacked, or he’s changing the spelling of his surname to Suckerberg.”

“Zuck, the wealthy should abstain from endorsements of anyone (especially another wealthy person) as president. It only harms you in the long run.”
